Russ Amos here. I live in the Kansas City area. I am over 58 yrs young. I have a British built Locost, RHD, with a gutless 1300cc xflow. Just like the book using a 1979 Ford Escort as a donor. I have had it for 3.5 years and I have no plans to get rid of it. I think I will be buried in it. I love bow hunting and motorcycle observed trials. I have a high maintenance 18 yr old daughter in college and a son who is a freshman in high school. Neither of which have any desires in my interests. I held the Midwest Gathering for 7's this last August and had (14) 7's attend. Pretty damn good for out here in the sticks!

I'm a mechanical engineer, but I've only started working on car stuff 4 years ago (hence the "Hack" tag). I've always been into cars, though, and the Seven has always been near the very top of the list of my favorite cars.

My daily is a 1997 Mazda Miata, which is a big reason why I'm building a Miata-based car. My car is going to be a tribute to the original Seven, which means I hope my car looks 50 years old when I'm done. Inside it'll be all modern, but I want it to look and feel like a vintage car. Sort of like if Morgan had bought the rights to produce the Seven, and not Caterham.

When I'm not working or in the garage, I like to spend time with my 1 y.o. daughter and wife, cook, write (blogs) and read. Locostering is my way of turning off the idiot box and doing something productive with my life.

Hi I'm Chet. I'm 37 years old, have three boys, 1.75, 4.2, & 5.5 years old. I design and build orthopedic appliances for a living. (leg/arm/back/neck/etc.braces and artificial limbs)
When I'm not at work I'm probably at home doing something boring like changing a diaper, wiping a butt, or working on my crappy house or one of my crappy cars. I built a locost in two years and sold it, someday I'll probably build another.
I like to ride bicycles, drive fast, shoot handguns, and look at naked women.
